Hey, I might be going over to adelaide soon. I might face some financial difficulties especially when it comes to living expenses.
Just wanna ask those of you whom are already there, izzit hard to look for a part time job there? How much do they pay? I do know that the maximum working hours for students is 20 hours. But usually how long do the employers require you to work for each time? (2 hours per day, Monday to Sunday... Or like 8 hours a day, Saturday and Sunday?) Just want a rough picture on how it's gonna be like over there. Thanks. =) |

You'll most likely be able to find part time job in chinese / asian restaurant, either as waitress or kitchen helper. That's probably the your best place to land a job. Hourly pay is about $10. Shopping malls or supermarkets usually don't prefer asians, so does western cafes or restaurants. Just wanna ask those of you whom are already there, izzit hard to look for a part time job there?

Thanks. =) During the long semester break however, you may look for short term job at wine yards, vegetable farms or warehouse. They usually hire you for about few weeks to a month. Pay is about $10 to $15 per hour. As for the working hour, if you work in restaurant, you'll work for about 4-6 hours a day, about 3 to 5 days a week. But it also depends on the restaurant. You may need to work more hours if they need you. |

I don't think Asian restaurants are the best place to work. You usually end up with bosses who pay you below minimum wages (<= $10) and provide a poor working environment. If you can, find a job that aligns closer to what you're studying. I know Coles and Woolies are big student recruiters, so try those as well. I don't think they favour one race over another, although I believe they have an obligation to employ local citizens and permanent residents first before they select international students.During the long semester break however, you may look for short term job at wine yards, vegetable farms or warehouse.

If given a choice, none of us would like to work in asian restaurants. I was saying its much more easier to get a job there than woolies or coles. The pay is definately higher too. |
